Nutmeg tastes best when it's freshly grated, and a little bit of this aromatic spice goes a long way. This tool makes it easy to grate just the right amount. Finely grates fresh nutmeg in the desired amount. Easier and safer to use than handheld graters. Razor-sharp stainless-steel rotary blades. Simple hand-crank operation. Top doubles as a storage compartment for whole nutmegs. Crafted in the USA by William Bounds, a family-owned company that has been making specialized kitchen tools of enduring quality for more than 40 years.

Delightful to Use

February 8, 2015

I went to visit my daughter this pass Christmas 2014 and she had one of these. Well I loved it. It was a gift for her so I had to search for it. She did know it was from your website. I got home and purchased it and couldn't be happier with it. Awesome product. Made with high end materials. Thank you so much.

Excellent quality and easy to use. Unlike many kitchen "gadgets" this is a very practical instrument and you will find yourself using it more than you might think. I've had mine for over 20 years now and it's still super sharp and shaves the nutmeg perfectly.

Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Design

Neither Grater Nor Grinder

December 31, 2013

A distinction needs to be made here. This is a nutmeg MILL and the method by which it reduces whole nutmegs is SHAVING. If you want GROUND nutmeg, either use a spice grinder or buy your nutmeg pre-ground. That said, I happen to love shaved nutmeg and always use it in place of ground in recipes that call for it.

I bought my William Bounds Nutmeg Mill many years ago and given that the product is still U.S.A.-made, I can't conceive of its quality having deteriorated. Mine is a heavy-duty mill that continues to work perfectly and I have no reason to expect that it won't continue to do so. Be advised that at some point, you'll need to flip your partially shaved nutmeg 180º and that you'll have to place a new nutmeg on the leavings of its predecessor in order to get it to mill completely.

Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Easy to Store

How to use?

I couldnt get it do anything, is the foam thing supposed to stay in there? either way it didnt shave the nutmeg. i figured next time i'm at w/s i'd ask them to show me.

I love the results I get with this grinder as much as I did grinding with a microplaner -- except now I The Accident-Prone am no longer scared I'll hurt my fingers. I found the nutmegs that came with it less than fresh, and anyway wanted to wash the grinder before use, so I discarded those nutmegs and the foam, washed and dried completely, then easily inserted just one Williams-Sonoma nutmeg. One is all I'll use at one time anyway, and I'll keep the rest fresh in the Williams-Sonoma jar...

Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Time-saver, Easy to Clean

Very handy

You can store extra nutmegs in the top., Works well, no more stale nutmeg. And it's made in the USA.

Nutmeg Grinder Makes Grating Safe & Easy

February 19, 2013

This specialize gadget improves the mundane task of grating nutmeg by making it safer (no accidentally grated fingers), hygienic, and easier to produce large quantities of freshly grated nutmeg without risking dropping any nutmegs. Just rotate the handle after loading a nutmeg from the convenient storage chamber.

I had wanted a nutmeg grinder since a friend's mom showed me hers and how easy it was to use. When I finally received, I loved it and had no issues. Yes, the acrylic top is a bit tricky to get back on (you have to line up the notches and push down/twist simoultaneously), but if you remove the foam inside, the issues with large nutmegs goes aways (ie. everything fits easily). I also store it in a small Pyrex or William-Sonoma glass bowl in the cabinet to prevent the residue from tracking everywhere. As one reviewer said though, if you have always perferred a microplane to grate your nutmeg, most likely you won't like this. But if you hated a microplane, this tool will be a godsend.

Pros: Easy to Use, Time-saver, Easy to Store

Cons: Temperamental

nutmeg grinder

April 27, 2012

The grinder works great no problems. I do, like others, wish it had some sort of cap to fit on the bottom because it does leave little shavings where ever it is set.

Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality

Cons: Difficult to Store, should have a cap to set it in to contain shavings

nice gadget, but doesn't work

January 6, 2012

It is easier for me to use a grater than to struggle with this grinder. Great look though.
